As previous reviewers have said the spa is in a perfect setting, we found it easily with a map bought on Amazon. Lots of lovely beaches/ towns to visit within 30 minutes drive. The spa was extremely quiet (we were the only guests when we arrived, with others arriving for the weekend) Staff told us that it is always quiet... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this resort in April 2010 and enjoyed our stay very much. Location is perfect, the hotel rooms are beautiful, very clean and spacy. The staff was so lovely and helpful always with a big smile on their face and very nice to all guests. We just couldn't ask for a better resort. We enjoyed... More

Suites Alba was a great stay for us. The location - where the Algarve coastline is at his best - was superb. There is simply nothing between the resort and the stunning coastline besides a 2 minute walk. However.. the resort is quite remote from other hotels, villages, restaurants (15 minutes drive). Our large garden terrace had seaview (thanks for... More

Having looked high and low on the internet for a place to stay over the year-end period in Southern Europe (mainly Algarve, Porto, Cascais or Southern Spain) I stumbled across rather positive remarks on Tripadvisor regarding this hotel. Let me put first and overall: great place. Very positive points are the comfort level, space, extended breakfast and above all the... More

We have just arrived from New years staying at the Alba Suites Resort and I must say if you have ever stayed in a "decent" 5 star...this does not come close. The staff is friendly and eager to please, but is not qualified for 5 star service. The hotel has a tiny indoor pool which was extremely crowded with 15... More

Service was still excellent from the staff on our third visit to Suites Alba, However, there are luxuries missing from the restaurant. The first two of three evening meals we took towards the end of our stay were reasonable, but the chef is trying too hard with the evening meal menus. Ice cream with strawberry soup with Cinnamon just too... More

This is a good hotel, although the prices do not justify the services. We went with a promotion, for a weekend. It was very, very difficult to find the resort. We had directions taken from Google but even though it was not easy to find the place. The road to get there is terrible. Is very narrow, it's not possible... More

In short: a beautifull location, great suites, but due to lack of good management it reallys stops at a poor 4 star. In our room the safe did not work, it was the first day filled with flies, the fridge did not close, the door of cupboard could not be opened, some lights did not work, more of those details,...

We just stayed for a weekend at Suites Alba for a weekend away. We narrowed it down from a lot of hotels in Portugal and we DEFINITELY made the correct choice. I have never been so impressed and blown away by both a hotel and the beaches. We wanted relaxation, we got it! The beach is a 5 minute walk,... More
